Leading Paper Manufacturer PANASA Profits from Green Energy

摘要

Global paper manufacturer and distributor PAPELERA NACIONAL S.A. (PANASA) is enhancing its sustainability with a new Global Water & Energy (GWE) wastewater treatment plant in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The GWE anaerobic plant will convert organic contamination present in the wastewater to up to 4,200 Nm3 of biogas, which when utilised as a fuel, is an equivalent of 2,818kg fuel oil per day. PANASA has been producing Kraft paper since 1968. Throughout the years the company has increased its production, installed new equipment and optimised fibre control and preparation processes. 50 years later, it can produce 18 times more paper, with annual production volumes exceeding 180,000 metric tons.
